Jet City JCA100H Guitar Amplifier Head

With two channels of Soldano tone and 100 watts of pure tube power, this is Jet City's flagship. The Normal channel has plenty of headroom to deliver clear, bright clean tones and can be driven hard enough to get downright raunchy. The Overdrive channel is the circuit that made Soldano famous. It's been modeled and imitated, but this is the real-effing-high-gain-deal.

zZounds is an authorized dealer of Jet City Amplification products.

"Michael Soldano does it again!"

Sound:
A Soldano Hot Rod owner, I was looking for the tight, warm, and expansive sound Michael is known for and I had toured with for 10 years. No longer a full time musician for quite some time, I didn't want to invest in the Soldano line, and had seen some demos of this new brand, of which he has designed. This amp has all of the above, and at less than half the price. Now, it isn't Soldano, but if you want a very close second, this is it. BTW- Active pickups seem to be more responsive to this amp....
Feature:
One addition I'd like to see for the future is a depth mod, but for the $, the features are what one would expect.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to dial in based on simple eq controls. Add a parametric eq, and now you're cookin' with gas!
Quality:
Excellent build quality at first glance. My old Soldano was an absolute workhorse, and if Michael had anything to do with components, chassis, cabinet, etc, this will probably follow suit.
Value:
If you want Soldano, but can't afford to invest in Soldano yet, go with these. Very easy to dial in, friendly, quiet effects loop, warm, tight sound, for an excellent price. Doesn't get much better for the musician on a budget! Highly recommended by a former professional touring musician of ten+ years.
Manufacturer Support:
Not dealt with Jet City directly yet.
The Wow Factor:
Good looking head! BTW- you can order the black grill face plate for the head if you choose directly from Jet City. Much nicer looking!
Overall:
Excellent all around. Can't beat the price, quality, in this range. Highly recommended for rock players of any type!

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"love it and I have been though many amps solid state and tubes...
this is first tube power amp that made any sense and shouldn'"

Sound:
The sound on this is totally versatile...
the low noise when the distortion channel is fired up is nice..
Mmmmmm love that natural tube :)
I Don't just do metal,as many stated this head unit is best played while doing meal..it metals out pretty sweet..but i do blues and older rock and
it fits my,and many more needs as a great amp... the distortion adjustment is killer from 0-12 .lots of sweet spots to set...
as for sounding better,well the future will tell because i fire up this baby everyday for at the least 2 hours...and paired along with the, JCA48S i will never jam on any other setup..I do like my other amps with all the bells and whistles but this is 1 mean screaming machine and well built...
Feature:
best feature is the way it sounds when cranked or even at 20 watts...I have breathing room and feel confident in it's performance on or off stage...nothing better then 100% reinsurance on knowing your amps is not going to fail or glitch ...
as for being well built. anyone that owns this would know :)
anyone that don't own one...it's your loss....
Ease of Use:
it's easy to dial up what you want...plain ans simple tons of sweet spots...
I value what i buy and own, and put it through extreme use everyday...
i own 10 guitars and all sound great out of this head unit :)
Quality:
I love the way it's styled up for on stage or off...
as for lasting like anything else with tubes...treat it like it's your baby, no mater what and it will reward you....
Value:
This amp head unit is worth more then the asking price..
I am very proud to own this amp head unit and would never get rid of it
even to pay a bill or so...thanks to Jet City for making something we can afford with totally flexible power...
Manufacturer Support:
no problems and i will leave this part as NA.....
The Wow Factor:
no comment, besides it's just awesome....
Overall:
why search for something i already found....
I insure all my stuff of value this is first on the list besides all 10 guitars...if it was stolen,it would be because that person that ripped it is crazy and should run...i mean it can be replaced but when you own something and become part of it,can it be replaced?
